Popcorn.
Thatâs right. Popcorn.
As the former Keeper of the Quaich at Edrington, Master Blender Max McFarlane has worked with some of the most famous whisky brands in the world, including The Famous Grouse, The Macallan and Highland Park.
He reckons he can persuade anyone to enjoy whisky.
And he says it all comes down to popcorn...
Now with Ardgowan Distillery and the nose behind Ardgowanâs Clydebuilt range of private bottlings, Max explains to John the best way to drink whisky: when to have ice; when to have water; what glass to use; and finally how to nose and sip your dram.
âThe sweet receptors are at the front of your tongue,â Max says. âSo donât throw your whisky back. Bring it right round your mouth; bring it to the front of your tongue. Make it almost romantic and let it slip down gently.â
So join John and Max as they celebrate the heritage and flavour of Scotland's national drink and the world's favourite spirit.

âIce is for cocktails!â exclaims Scottish crime writer and whisky lover Val McDermid.
So how does she take a dram? And what does she take?
And if she loves whisky so much, why did Val create a leading character who enjoys gin when she personally hates it?
Join John Beattie as he and Val discuss âmorning whiskiesâ, imposter syndrome and Scotlandâs national bard, Robert Burns.
And if youâre new to Scotlandâs national drink and want to know where to start, Val has a recommendation.

How do you take your whisky?
Neat? Splash of water? Block of ice? Or even a mixer?
However you take it, join John Beattie, former Scotland rugby international and semi-retired radio and TV news presenter, as he celebrates the heritage and flavour of Scotland's national drink and the world's favourite spirit.
Whether you call it whisky, whiskey, uisge beatha, aqua vitae, or the water of life... there's a story behind every dram; a craftsman behind every drop; an aroma with every nose; and a flavour in every sip.
This is the spirit of Scotland: distilled in a place; shared around the world.
What makes it so special? Why is it so loved? And who are the people that make it, and the aficionados who drink it?
Join John on his journey of discovery.
